16 charms – I used Verna by Kate Spain
1/3 yard matching fabric for the bottom of the bag and the handles
1/4 yard of matching fabric for the gathered strip and the loop closure
1/2 yard of matching fabric for the lining
1 self covered button with the bottom fabric
2 pieces of batting
medium weight fusible interfacing

Seam allowance is 1/4 inch.

For each side of the bag, stitch 2 rows of 4 charm squares each and then 2 rows together. Iron with seams open to get a flatter look. You will end up with 2 rectangles measuring measuring 18.5in x 9.5in but measure your final rectangles well after sewing before you cut the bottom rectangles so that the width is the same.

Soooo, I lost enough internet to keep blogging my daily ATCs but now I’m back! I’ll be posting a few singles over the next few days and will then try and post two per day over the next couple of weeks until I have caught up – so don’t forget to check your inboxes!

(I’ll be backdating these too so that they fit in chronologically with the rest – so it might seem weird for a bit while I catch up).

Today’s ATC features something that has been lacking of late and was made to remind everyone of what we all need in life!
